Desert Hope Treatment Center - Outpatient
Philosophy

Desert Hope believes that alcohol and drug abuse is a symptom of a deeper underlying issue. In order to stop the endless cycle of chemical dependency and build a new life, addicts must learn to address these core issues and confront unresolved traumas. Desert Hope offers its clients the hope and support to do just that, maximizing the probability of long-term recovery by providing individualized treatment plans and clinical options for the restoration of mind, body, and spirit.

Areas of Specialization

Outpatient
Outpatient treatment describes all addiction treatment that is not residential. Patients live at home while undergoing rehab.

Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Patients who undergo intensive outpatient treatment continue to live at home and sometimes go to school or work while participating in a highly structured treatment protocol that is focused on ending substance abuse. Programs vary in terms of how much treatment patients receive, how often and for how long. Some facilities design individualized intensive outpatient treatment programs.

12-Step
The term “12 Step Program” describes a way to recover from addiction that is based on the model developed by Alcoholics Anonymous. Many drug and alcohol treatment centers base their treatment on 12 steps – the first three of which are situational, the next four addressing the practical issues created by the addiction, followed by two steps focused on making amends for hurting others. Steps 10 and 11 involve a deeper examination of the previous steps and the final step is focused on helping others avoid and recover from addiction.

Family Progran
Research shows that the odds of successful, sustained recovery from addiction are far higher when family members and loved ones are involved in treatment. Drug and alcohol addiction often have genetic roots, whether related to substance abuse, mental illness or both. Family dynamics also play a role and, often, family members are the first to realize a loved one has developed an addiction. Also, it’s important for family members to understand and embrace the lifestyle changes that are required to sustain recovery.

ABOUT DESERT HOPE TREATMENT CENTER - OUTPATIENT

Desert Hope Treatment Center offers a full spectrum of drug addiction services at its Las Vegas facility. In addition to detox and residential services, adults struggling with a chemical dependency and dual diagnosis may receive intensive outpatient (IOP) services.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Either for clients who complete residential treatment or for those who need more flexibility, this facility's IOP program is designed to aid recovery while allowing the client to live at home and continue to work.

Individual and group therapy are the main components of each client's individual treatment track. Each client is assigned a primary therapist and is encouraged to include their family in their recovery. Groups address the underlying causes of addiction and include 12-step meetings such as alcoholics anonymous (AA). Aftercare planning takes place throughout treatment to ensure that clients do not relapse once they discharge.

According to the facility's website, all clients have the opportunity to engage in recovery-oriented challenge therapy, which includes a ropes course as well as hiking, rock climbing, and team sports. Additional services include medication management and medical care.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

Information about staff at Desert Hope Treatment Center is limited, but the facility's website mentions that they employ those who are experienced in drug abuse.
